The Association of British Bookmakers (The ABB) has announced it would ‘not oppose’ Labour’s new proposal to impose a compulsory levy on British bookmakers that would go towards helping treat problem gamblers.

The Parliamentary inquiry into Fixed Odds Betting Terminals, branded a ‘kangaroo court’ by the Association of British Bookmakers (ABB) has been heavily censured by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards.
